Dear MG,
Hey, thanks for coming to the show
Yes, a musical joy of my life is bringing the boys and girls in at the end of a piece like that. It's the closest feeling I'll ever have to the "Okay, folks... we're goin' in!" that a fighter pilot might have. It's too much fun
I was using my Monette Prana XLT C trumpet. Litton loves this brass section and I enjoy working with him. He lets us go a little crazy on occasion and this was one of those occasions!
The next time I'll be using my Eb, which is a brass colored horn not silver , will be for the Rite of Spring when we do it in September. Hope you can make it.
Again, thanks for coming.
ML
